My Story Overseas Version?

[Bishoujo Ayumi]

Does anybody know when and if a Overseas Version of My Story is going to be released. Well..I know there will be an OS Version just like her other CDs and Singles.

I'm basically asking what the pattern has been like for her other albums. Is it before or after the CD is released..a couple of weeks ahead? I want to know whether It will be a long wait to pre-order the OS (CD+DVD) version or if I'm better off just pre-ordering the pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ version. I just don't want the Limited to go out of stock and I'll be stuck with an OS version with no DVD.

Yes.

And OS versions aren't available for pre-order. They'll put it on the site once it's released and you just purchase it. It never comes out before the Japan version, that doesn't make sense. It either comes out simultaneously or within a week of the Japan version's release.

Again, Ayu's so called limited editions aren't all that limited, they always end up pressing loads of it.

yeah. limited edition for kanariya, fly high, audience and appears means there are 300,000 of them. eh. thats so limited.

[walking proud]

why would the overseas version come before the japanese version?

[Rebirthia]

ayu os version comes relatively soon, regarding the dates of gackt releases, for example...

[BanFan]

With singles the OS versions come out 2 weeks afterwards, but with albums they are released in less than a week.

Memorial Address CD+DVD/CD only OS versions were released only 2 days after the Japan Versions

Same with RAINBOW, it came out in a matter of days, the local store here had the OS Ver before the Jpn ver. (One store carries mainly OS, other carries Jpn)

[kournikova]

somedays after the japan version

[extepan]

in theory OS version is released several days after the jp version, but the stores in hk put them on shelves once they get hold of them. hence the os version hits the shops before the jp version, and on occasion even before the official release date of the jp version!

I just saw the OS Version of CAROLS today and the discart sucked...it looked like it was printed from my home printer. Because it's not shiny like the Japanese one. =_=

Avex Asia better not be taking the Toshiba EMI route with sub-par printing like for Utada's CDs.

I don't know...THAT's why I asked the question.
I don't follow too closely with the order of her CDS pertaining to OS and JP version. I just buy it when I buy it. I guess now I know to pay more attention.

That's a nice icon your using there btw *cough*

that's very bad!

Ok, as far as I understand, overseas versions of cds are cheaper than japanese versions, right? I am waiting for an overseas version of My story to order it, but, does anyone know when it will be available? I'd hate it if I but the japanese version and days later the overseas version is available. Anyone knows?
